Broken

Broken

Evelyn Miller

When Lily finds her boyfriend cheating on her the summer before senior year, it's just another broken piece in her already disappointing life. Then she meets Mason, who seems equally as broken for a different reason, but together they make summer their own and set off to complete a bucket list of promises they vow not to break...and maybe some feelings develop along the way. But their summer fling ends in disaster when Lily and Mason realize they're from rival schools, competing in rival teams. Even worse, when a tragic accident puts their priorities into perspective, can Lily and Mason find a way to be together, and will their friends—and the ultra-competitive sports teams—allow them to have the happy ending they dream of...?

Yet, with shadows of the past looming and enemies watching, one question remains—will their connection be their salvation or their downfall?

Sweet Temptation

Sweet Temptation

Merra Gischan

This stunning woman with her mesmerizing eyes. She’s lucky her friend arrived, or else I might have taken her straight to bed, making her moan and plead. A not so gentle reminder for her to lock her door, especially when she is planning on baking barely dressed.

Without a doubt, she's what I'd desirably refer to as my sweet temptation.

A Reject She-Wolf

A Reject She-Wolf

Sumner Comes First

Vivienne Wren

Sumner arrives at the lake house determined to keep her heart locked tight. This summer is about fixing her life, not reopening old wounds. Then Corbin walks in with that familiar grin and zero respect for emotional safety plans. He is her brother’s best friend, her first crush, and the mistake she never quite forgot. Confined spaces, shared memories, and long summer nights stir feelings she swears are buried. Corbin challenges every rule she makes, while Sumner fights the pull between comfort and chaos. Old sparks crackle with new heat, and resisting him starts to feel like the hardest rule she has ever made. Falling again feels reckless… but what if it is exactly what she needs?

The Drake Twins

The Drake Twins

Rowan Cody

They used to make her life miserable—every taunt, every smirk, every stolen moment meant to break her down. But growing up didn’t erase the magnetic pull she’s always felt toward the Drake twins. Now, seven years later, they’re back in her world—older, darker, and twice as tempting. Their arrogance is still there, but so is something new flickering behind those wicked eyes. Desire. Challenge. A dangerous game she swore she’d never play again. She tells herself she should walk away, but the truth is she’s never been good at resisting them—or the delicious kind of chaos they bring.

M. L. Smith

"You have always been mine.”

Mina never expected to see her stepbrother again—let alone like this. But when she steps into a secretive club, she walks straight into the arms of the one man who's been watching from the shadows… and waiting to make her his. Ronan, the ruthless head of Boston’s crime syndicate, doesn’t just want her—he owns her now. Years of silent obsession have built to this moment, and he won’t let anything—or anyone—stand between them. As enemies circle and the syndicate teeters on the edge, one thing’s clear: he’s not letting her go, no matter how dark things get.
